Hey All,
I was just wondering if anyone else was having a really hard time finding this set? I found the Austin about 2.5 weeks ago locally. Since then, haven't seen anything in terms of restock. I also checked brick seek with zip codes for everyone of my family and friends in other states I could think of any found literally nothing in stock. Did I just miss my window? The set with HBK, Razor, Doink & Alundra was on shelves here for a really long time, but this one seems to be hard to come by. I don't know if I am allowed to add this, if I am not, I will remove the line, but anyone who has the other three for sale or trade pm me? Any who, how has everyone else's experience been?
Thanks!

Walmart rushed this series out due to the line's cancellation, I imagine. Everyone was in a rush to snag the set online when it became apparent not many stores would see it. All have sold out in a day or two when some were trickling in on the site, but haven't noticed them up in a while.
This is similar to what happened with Walmart's TNF Elites. First set performed well, second sat on shelves forever, and the third was difficult to find in brick-and-mortar stores because so few received them. Maybe this will become a similar situation and all the cases end up online eventually. Austin will be the only one that really approaches the $10 mark I will guess, but they all have to go somewhere.

Distribution is obviously an issue.
Walmarts near me didn’t get flashback series 2 hardly at all but I’ve seen plenty of series 3.
Same with hall of champions. I never saw series 2 anywhere.
It makes me care less to keep collecting honestly. There are about 5 figures that I’ve waited on and eventually the struggle is too much that I don’t even want them now.
Oh well, saves me money so I’m cool with it.

My area in upstate New York has always been good about stocking this series... until now. Series 3 came and went in literally a day. I never saw Harley Race, but I did manage to snag the other ones. Typically, there's a re-stock at some point after the initial set sells, but that didn't happen here, so I had to resort to going to EBay to buy Race, which I paid out the nose for. In fact, none of the Walmarts around me have stocked anything past Elite 60. It's been really frustrating all around.

I haven't seen any in my area. I even asked my local one to order another a set and a second set of wave 2 showed up.

They were pretty easy to find online with the exception of Harley but with some persistence he also was obtainable. I was able to get two of each.

That Race is such a great figure. I know lets short pack him even though we packed Alundra Blayze 2 per case. Lots Of Alundra in my vicinity still. Only 1 Wal-Mart by me got series 3 and that was only once.

No one wants Razor in street clothes or a 2nd Doink either. |

I still haven't seen the JJ Build a figure set in my area. I'm not worried about regular series missing my area. Online seems to get them, but all the exclusive sets seems to miss my area. Still have not seen a Hall of Champions series 2 here, but found Series 3 before Black Friday. Makes me worry about Backund and Dunne too.

When the first findings of the Elite Flashback series 3 hit on here, only two out of the eleven walmarts near me have restocked since and those two sold out with the exception of one having an Austin still hanging around. The other walmart that got Flashback 3 sold the entire box and have replaced the Elite Flashback price tag/peg with more Basics.

Neither of my Wal-Marts got in Elite 3, but recently restocked with Elite 2 - hoping they sell quickly due to the holiday and they do get in series 3.

In my area we got flooded with series 2. No series 3 anywhere, my locally wally world sent 3 cases of series 2 after selling 1 case right away. I totally do not understand the distribution at all. I have one walmart that has been out of stock for 3-4 weeks after getting 1 case that sold out slowly.
I don't know who's really to blame for this crap and i don't care. I had to spend $52 on eBay to get Harley Race to complete the set.
Thank You Mattel and thank you walmart.

My stores have had 0-5 for a couple months and no restock, except for a store 20 miles away, and I'm not driving that far to find out what it is.

I was lucky enough to get a hold of Race quite easily at my local Wal-Mart in VA. I even passed on him once and he was still there.

I grew tired of going to Wal-Mart, of all places, only to never find them....so I bought Austin and Jake from Fighter Hayabusa instead.  |
